PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Maintain serial communication with the correct DF00 configuration

Siemens 6ES7138-4DF00-0AB0 is a single-channel ET 200S serial interface for exchanging asynchronous messages with a configured communication partner. It supports RS232C, RS422 or RS485 hardware, with ASCII and 3964(R) capabilities determined by the selected interface.

This DF00 variant uses discrete baud settings up to 19.2 kbit/s and a four-byte or eight-byte process-data configuration. Maintenance work should preserve the partner's wiring, message framing and controller blocks while checking the installed module version against the station's interface-module restrictions.

DF00 SERIAL COMMUNICATION

Match the partner and station before choosing the serial configuration

Select the physical interface and protocol as a pair. ASCII is supported on RS232C, RS422 and RS485, while 3964(R) is restricted to RS232C and RS422. The eight-position terminal connection must be wired for the chosen interface. Apply the original cable, shielding and termination guidance rather than assuming the communication partner's D-sub pinout matches the module terminals.
Use the DF00 hardware-catalog entry with the required four-byte or eight-byte process-data size. This allocation is separate from the 200-byte message limit. Match baud rate, parity, stop bits, receive delimiter and permissible handshake settings to the partner. The documented maximum baud rate is 19.2 kbit/s, not the higher values associated with later serial modules.
Check the station interface module as well as the serial module. Siemens excludes DF00 product versions through version 4 from the IM151-3 PN HIGH FEATURE 6ES7151-3BA22-0AB0 configuration. Retain the application's matching communication library and instance blocks, and wait for initialization before validating send and receive transactions. This restriction must not be generalized into an approval for every other IM version.

Features:

  • Interface-specific terminal wiring
  • Matched framing and process-data size
  • IM and product-version compatibility checks
The Siemens 6ES7138-4DF00-0AB0 requires the documented hardware configuration, installation conditions and interface arrangement to be verified before system integration and commissioning.
INTERCHANGEABILITY

Verify the complete replacement identity before commissioning

Record the full 6ES7138-4DF00-0AB0 order number and product version before sourcing a replacement. Also identify the installed IM order code and the existing hardware-catalog entry. DF00 modules through version 4 are specifically excluded with the documented IM151-3 PN HIGH FEATURE 3BA22 interface, so a visually similar spare is not sufficient evidence of station compatibility.
Preserve the installed interface selection and the approved station wiring record before replacement. The original manual connects DF00 through an eight-position terminal arrangement; partner-side D-sub diagrams are not an integral module socket. Restore the matching protocol, message delimiter, framing, process-data size and installed function-block library. Obtain complete, legible manufacturer installation instructions before any wiring change.
Plan the maintenance procedure around interrupted and buffered messages. Reparameterization restarts the driver and loses stored frames; CPU startup can also clear the receive buffer according to its setting. After the station is safely restored, exercise representative transactions and inspect function-block status and TX, RX and SF indications. This reference does not replace the complete station safety and installation documentation.

Features:

  • Order code and product version confirmed
  • DF00 terminal assignment retained
  • Restart buffers and real transactions checked
The Siemens 6ES7138-4DF00-0AB0 requires replacement verification based on its complete order number, installed hardware, signal configuration and project documentation.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Questions buyers ask about 6ES7138-4DF00-0AB0

Direct answers about identity, compatibility, stock, warranty, payment and shipping.
  • Can DF00 be configured with the DF01's 32-byte interface?

    The exact DF00 manual lists four-byte and eight-byte ASCII and 3964R configurations. Do not select a 32-byte variant on that basis. Preserve the existing DF00 hardware configuration and verify the actual module and station before considering any change of order code.
  • Does this module support 3964(R) over RS485?

    No. Siemens' exact driver table permits 3964(R) on RS232C and RS422, but not RS485. RS485 uses ASCII in half-duplex mode, without the module's flow-control functions. A grouped RS422/RS485 data-sheet heading is not permission to apply every listed protocol to both interfaces.
  • Is any DF00 suitable for an IM151-3 PN HIGH FEATURE station?

    No. The manual for IM151-3 PN HIGH FEATURE 6ES7151-3BA22-0AB0 specifically excludes DF00 modules through product version 4. Check the complete interface-module code and the actual DF00 version; common ET 200S branding does not establish compatibility.
  • Does the serial module have its own nine-pin D-sub socket?

    The documented ET 200S connection is an eight-position terminal arrangement. The manual's nine-pin and 25-pin D-sub diagrams describe the communication-partner end of the cable, not an integral socket on DF00. Use the exact terminal and partner pin assignments shown for the selected interface.
  • Which program blocks send and receive messages?

    The manual identifies FB3 S_SEND and FB2 S_RCV, with P_SEND and P_RCV shown as their former names. Preserve the correct installed library and its instance data blocks. Communication blocks require cyclic application calls and initialization; their status values should be evaluated during commissioning.
  • Why should message buffers be checked after a restart?

    Reconfiguration initializes the protocol driver and discards stored send and receive frames. The startup setting controls whether the receive buffer is cleared when the CPU changes from STOP to RUN. Restore the intended setting and test actual message exchange after initialization, not only the LED state.
